With the Einstein Tower - once the most scientifically important solar telescope in Europe - a story began that is still going on today. At the Long Night of Sciences, scientists give an insight into modern solar research from Potsdam.

The Great Refractor opens its doors again and invites you to wonder: in lectures, the guests can learn more about distant exoplanets or cool neighbor stars, make star charts and - in suitable weather - the night sky over Potsdam through the telescope.
